Vehicles, in general are a very hard sell. Aside from GI Joe and Star Wars, can you think of any other line that really has a dedicated audience intent on buying any and all vehicles released for a toy line?

Well... the Batman audience comes to mind. Not for vehicles in general, but for Batmobiles. I mean, as a kid (and now as a collector), I've seen audiences treat the Batmobile as an essential purchase. Sure it won't fly off the shelves the way some figures do. (Mostly on account of cost.) But it is *the* present of choice for special occasions like Birthdays & Christmas.

I for one, have had all kinds of Batmobiles. Still do. And almost all the Batman lines have had a Batmobile at one point or another. Some even had multiples. And this goes back to the Mego days. If anything, the only exceptions to the rule have been the Batmans from the Total Justice, Movie Masters & DC Universe Classics lines. Because as far as I can tell, every other Batman line has had a Batmobile in some way, shape or form. Even the Fisher Price Big Scaled Super-Friends line got their own Batmobile.

Because I felt like exercising my memory muscles. Besides... it's not like I showed up at your place, shoved your face through a computer screen, and forced you to read it out loud. In other words, if you didn't want to read it, you could've stopped reading at any point. Or was that too complicated for you?

Let me guess... you were indignant because you wasted precious seconds of your life reading my post, but then proceeded to waste even more time by quoting, typing and replying to it.Yup! You sure showed me.

There may be a ton of batmobiles but there are not a ton of good ones. I would say 90% of the batmobiles are truly crap. The best one to date is the Kenner Super Powers from the 1980's.

My favorite batmobile of all time is the one from the 60's television show. I've always loved that one and I'm surprised it took this long to make a large scale version of it that action figures can sit in. I've seen die cast versions and larger scale but not any with figures that could fit inside with a lot of detail. I wish the doors opened though. I'm very excited by this product and will buy two of them. One to collect and one to open

Most of the Batmobiles either Kenner/Hasbro or Mattel did for action figures were single seat versions. Only Kenner’s Super Powers, Hasbro’s TNBA, Mattel’s Comic Style and My First Batmobile were two seats. This was done the save money even though the Mattel Batmobile’s were both huge.

I’m really excited about this whole line of figures, but even more impressed by the Batmobile because it’s in scale and Mattel did not cut it down to size to save money.

Movie Masters should have gotten a Batmobile, and if Mattel does a Batman 1989 Movie Masters line they should do that Batmobile too.

That one's not a bad choice... My favorite is the one from the late 70s that looked a lot like a Camero. I think this is it... http://www.batmobilehistory.com/1977-batmobile.php I always liked it because it came across as a more believable vehicle than the ones with the open canopies and huge tailfins. I saw a die-cast concept Camero at work a couple of weeks ago that really looked like it was inspired by the Tumbler body-styling-wise. Still kicking myself for not picking that thing up when I was gawking at it...
